Calling coyotes and fences.

pitw · August 09, 2009, 10:14:33 PM

Just wondering if any of you guys that call coyotes ever hunt by wire fences[I do]. When calling sometimes I pull the wire making it squeak and hopefully sound like a deer or other animal caught in it. Seems to work as I have just squeaked wire and had them come to see what's up.

Never tried but I surely dont doubt it.
Your hunting pressure is much lower then down here too though, so that makes it even easier to believe.

I have done it night hunting especially...... I am sure it works more often up there but it does work sometimes here as well.

I will have to try that. But you got so many coyotes you need to shoo them out of the way to sit down. :roflmao: :roflmao:

Fences? Oh, I remember them. All the farmers around here took them out in the mid 70s so they wouldn't have rabbits and pheasants eating their crops. (Actually they took them out to get an extra few feet to till but it sure helped wipe out the animals that hid there.) The only place around here that I know has a fence is the commercial dairy farmer just west of town. As I wrote that, I though how wrong I actually am. I have a fence around my back yard, but it is wood.

It does not surprise me at all that they would come to thesqueak in a fence. They check out many things from curiosity in hopes of a meal. Anything thing that might even come close to something in trouble would work in my opinion.

But like hawks feahter , if I find a fence I use it as cover because it is overgrown most of the time and a travel way between woodlots. Jimmie

We have also had them come in right after a bunch of ATV's went through ........Just start screaming like a dying rabbit before the ATV's leave completely(Still in ear shot), and I guess they think it got ran over ......but I have seen foxes and coyotes do this a few times.

That I believe as well. Do any of you make a mouth call that sounds like tires screeching, Thud and the sound of thrashing in the ditch?

I've always gone to a lot of trouble to avoid noise when crossing fences, but you got me thinking, Barry. You too, Al'scalls Al. I have had so many farmers tell me about coyotes following them around when they are mowing that maybe we need to record that sound and put it on our ecallers.

I can sell ya some rusty old fence.......

HaMeR · August 11, 2009, 12:33:45 PM

I've got a couple old tires out back for ya too!!

Where I hunt, there is a barbed wire fence about every quarter or half mile. The coyotes use the fence lines to their advantage to get away from the trucks that chase them. If you cross a fence and make the wire squeak, the coyotes will bust ya and head in the opposite direction. I've seen em do it. They also seem to know which side of the fence you can't hunt on, and travel on that side when they are going some place.

Here the fences are a half mile to 2 miles apart. Sometimes it is the only cover out there and the coyotes use them as roadways. A lot of deer and a few moose get caught up in them and thats an easy meal for a coyote. I guess it makes quite a difference as to where you hunt.
